Farrell had Hohner Toots Hard Boppers with 00-90 screw posts instaljed in the reedplates where the rivets had been. This allowed the user to replace a reed by unscrewing a nut, popping the replacement reed on the screw post (though the holes in the reed pad needed to be enlarged a bit with a rat tail file), and tightening the nut again. You had to do a bit of centering of the reed, and gapping and fine tuning are pretty much always required, but the actual reed replacement was pretty quick.

Did Farrell have harmonicas with replaceable reeds?
